A dating guide turned into being surrounded by female ghosts?

Chapter 120 Preparing to Catch Ghosts

"After you revealed those secrets, Li Shuran was quite shocked and very moved by your sacrifice. Although she repeatedly emphasized that this was her own business, you felt that as a man, you had to stand up at this time."

This is the system's final task conclusion.

Lin Yue thought this must be the logic behind the subsequent tasks.

I sat in the back seat of a taxi.

Open the car window.

The cold wind lashed against my face, and the icy touch on my skin made it hard to breathe.

The deaths of Wen Ning and Li Shuran are now both connected to that Humphrey Company.

Is this a coincidence?

Lin Yue's sixth sense was telling him that it didn't seem like it.

This creates a connection; either the problem lies with the person behind that company, or with the system itself.

I closed the car window and my eyes disappeared into the darkness behind the car.

The name Humphrey Company was etched into his heart.

Back at the hotel.

Without a second thought, Lin Yue added the extra 0.3 free attribute points to Strength.

Strength: 1.1-1.4

The already full muscles became even more resilient, and the clearly defined muscles covered his entire body like armor, perfectly comparable to an ancient Greek sculpture.

I looked at myself in the mirror a few times.

Lin Yue then put on her clothes, picked up the apples arranged on the fruit plate, grasped them with her five fingers, and gently twisted them without much force.

"Click"

A crisp sound was heard.

The bright red, whole apple was easily split in two.

He took a few leisurely glances at it.

Lin Yue sighed inwardly, realizing that she could never have done this in the past.

If you put yourself from a month ago next to yourself now, even your own mother probably wouldn't recognize that you are the same person.

The changes are truly enormous.

And after this additional point allocation...

Strength and agility have finally returned to a fragile balance.

Although it wasn't very sturdy.

But Lin Yue discovered that she was able to unleash her full potential in agility, which had been suppressed.

Instead of the previous half-baked approach that only had numbers but no real performance.

"Click" 6

I took a big, happy bite of an apple.

The sweet and sour fruit juice exploded in my mouth.

Lin Yue then opened the system's task panel.

The new strategy quests for Li Shuran should have been available by now.

I need to hurry.

The day he had agreed upon with Wen Ning was drawing ever closer, with only twenty-seven days left. He didn't want to die so soon.

Li Shuran is now his only hope of breaking this deadlock.

"Mission: Help Li Shuran."

"Now, you and Li Shuran both know that Tianxi Textile Factory is in imminent danger, but this matter is not just about the two of you. Looking at Li Shuran's anxious and pained eyes, you feel heartbroken. Therefore, you decide to immediately take action to resolve this crisis and nip the impending fire in the bud."

"Requirement: Catch the arsonist."

Location: Tianxi Textile Factory, Nancheng City.

Rewards: RMB 50000, 0.4 free attribute points, and +15% favorability towards Li Shuran.

After watching it.

Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh. Ever since she revealed the secret last time, the tasks given by the system had become completely disconnected from the "Goddess Conquest Game".

At least in that game.

I have never done anything like that before.

The fire that occurred at the hope Textile Factory that day was always hidden in the subplot.

In the game, Li Shuran solved everything by herself from beginning to end.

But now, can I participate in it?

Lin Yue shut down the system.

He now has only one question: can he find any clues related to that Humphrey Company inside the Tianxi Textile Factory?

the next day.

There are 26 days left until Wen Ning kills him.

Lin Yue went to find Guan Ziming again early in the morning.

But when they arrived at the luxurious law firm, they asked the receptionist and found out that Guan Ziming had already taken leave and would not be coming to work for the next week.

"Could it be that he was so terrified that night that he developed psychological trauma?"

Lin Yue thought about it for a moment.

So he went directly to Guan Ziming's house to find him.

...

"Ding-dong"

But after we arrived...

I rang the doorbell for ages.

There was no reaction at all inside the house.

It's as if the rooms inside have been empty for a long time.

Lin Yue glanced at the peephole on the door.

So, as if talking to himself, he said to the air, "If you don't open the door, I'll summon the ghost, just like last time."

The words had barely left his mouth.

The door opened quickly.

A man with stubble around his mouth, messy hair, and an unkempt appearance, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, emerged from the doorway.

The man's face was extremely grim. He glared at Lin Yue and said through gritted teeth, "Didn't you say you would never come back?"

Lin Yue said calmly, "That's what you said, I didn't agree to it."

J

Guan Ziming thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that was indeed the case.

But he seemed unwilling to get involved with Lin Yue, so he blocked the doorway, preventing him from entering, saying, "What do you want now? I've already given you that information!"

Lin Yue got straight to the point and explained her purpose.

"I need to know what the arsonist looked like back then. You followed up on this case, so you must have that information."

"..." Guan Ziming remained silent for a moment, puzzled. "What use do you have for this? The person is already dead."

"Don't worry about that," Lin Yue said without offering any further explanation.

But Guan Ziming suddenly remembered this person's ability to deal with supernatural things, and his face showed a struggle.

In the end, he compromised and said, "Okay, I can give it to you, but you have to agree to one condition."

"What are the conditions?"

"Don't ever come looking for me again!"

"No problem," Lin Yue agreed readily.

Upon receiving this promise, Guan Ziming instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and his shoulders slumped considerably.

He acted as if he was afraid Lin Yue would change her mind.

I quickly closed the door.

"Bang"

Then, through the door, I heard hurried footsteps coming from inside the house.

Lin Yue stared at the door panel for about ten minutes.

The door finally opened again.

Guan Ziming slipped a document through the crack in the door and said, "This is the worker's information. Remember, you must never come looking for me again!"

Lin Yue took the documents and said there were no problems.

Guan Ziming closed the door with a sigh of relief.

Lin Yue glanced at the information in the file, including details about the arsonist and what he looked like when he was alive.

Pei Shengrong, male, 37 years old, unmarried, assistant worker at Tianxi Textile Factory, usually responsible for moving and cleaning in the factory.

He performed physically demanding tasks such as trimming thread ends, loading yarn onto spools, and unloading yarn. Rumors circulated that he had some mental health issues as a child, but these never recurred. However, a week before the fire, he suddenly took sick leave. On his first night back at the textile factory after his leave, at 12:01 AM, he caused that horrific fire. The reason he did this remains unknown…”

Lin Yue remembered the face of the skinny man above.

So he took out his phone and called the fox woman.

"beep""

The call was connected.

Lin Yue lowered her voice and asked, "Do you want to go to Tianxi Textile Factory?"

Upon hearing this, the fox-woman became excited. "Of course, but what are you going there for? To find strange relics?"

"No, we're going to catch ghosts."
